TPS Interface Working Modes
TheTPSworkingmodebetweenthetransmitterandthereceiverisdeterminedbythemodesetinthem.
BothdevicesTPSmodesettingstogetherdeterminethefinallyestablishedTPStransmissionmode.
ThefollowingTPSmodesaredefinedinthetransmitter:
▪
Auto
:TheTPSmodeisdeterminedautomatically.
▪
HDBaseT
:Idealforhighresolutionsignalsupto4K.
▪
Long reach
:Idealforbigdistancesupto1080p@60Hzwithextendedcablelengths.
▪
LPPF1
*:OnlyRS-232communicationistransmitted(@9600baud).
▪
LPPF2
*:OnlyRS-232(@9600baud)andEthernetcommunicationaretransmitted.
*LPPF:LowPowerPartialFunctionality.

** If there is valid HDMI/DVI signal is on the TX side, the TPS mode will be HDBaseT on both side. If
thetransmitterdoesnottransmitsHDMI/DVIsignal,theTPSmodewillbechangedtoLPPF2orLPPF1
